Steps

  1. 1

    Mix the Maseca with chicken broth or water until combined.

  2. 2

    Add the spinach or Swiss chard, grated carrots, grated zucchini, corn, and oil. The dough should have more vegetables than anything else.

  3. 3

    Place one or two heaping tablespoons of the mixture onto a corn husk or banana leaf, spread it slightly, then add cheese and salsa in the center. Close the husk or leaf so the tamale holds together in one piece.

  4. 4

    Steam until fully cooked.
